the naval school at Annapolis. He also made lasting improvements in the naval observatory and ap. pointed some new professors. He gave the order to take possession of California. He acted as secre- tary of the war pro tenn for a month, aud during that time gave the order to General Taylor to march into Texas, this being the first occupation of the Texan terri tory by United States troops. He is, all in all, undoubtedly the most eminent living Am erican. The difference between the permanence of literary and political fame is no better illustrated than in his case.
 He was an eminent cabinet officer, minister to first class foreign pow. CTS, etc., and yet the majority of the people of the United States simply knew of him as author of the great history that bears his name. This may be the case with Blaine.

were waiting for him across the way. He had no mind to go to stealing, or to any kind of crime, but few days hard drinking, or a plunge in the river would end it all, and take him out of every. body's way.
 The gate unclosed. He passed through and was a free man again. In a street not far away was a brightly lighted driMking- shop. His comrades were there. He stopped. looked at the ticket in his hand, and then-crossed the street to join them.
 Just at this moment a dog rushed out of the gate jail, and jumped on him. barking, licking his hand, fair ly mad with joy.
 The poor prisoner stopped, trembling from head to foot. "Whv, it's Wag!' he said, tits poor old Wag"
 With the sight of the dog came back his home that he had dis graced and ruined; Mary, and the baby in it's cradle. A sick longing filled his heart to see them again.
 its my wife-it's my little girl." he thought. He stood irresolute a minute, and then walked hastily to the station. "Come, Wag; we'll go home," he said.
 This is true story. John Dash is living now, an honest citizen, and the old dog still sleeps on his hearth. The gate.keepers wife was not wrong when she said tbat God has a use for all things that He has made. Even poor cur may help, with it's faithful love, to save d soul alive Youths Com paniOn.

STRENGTH FOR TO-DAY.

Strength for to- day is all that we need, As there never will be tomorrow; For tomorrow will prove but another to- day With measures of joy and sorrow. Then why forecast the trials of life,
 With much sad and grave persistence, And wait and watch for crowd of ills, That as yet have no existence? Strength for to-day--what il precious boon For the earnest souls who labor For the willing hands that minister
 To the needy friend or neghbor. Strength for to-day that the weary hearts In the battle for rights may quail not; And the eyes bedimmed by bitter tears In their search for light may fail not. Strength for to-day on the down-hill track, For the travellers near the valley; That up, fur up, OF the other side
 Ere long they may safely rally. Sttenth for to-day. that our precious youtl May happily shun temptation, And build from the rise to the set of the sur On strong and sure foundation. Strength for to-day, in house and home, To practice forbearance sweetly; To scatter kind words and loving deeds, Still trusting m God completely. Strength for to-day is all that we need, And there never will be a tomorrow; Forto- morrow will prove but another to-d da, With its measures of joy and sorrow.

A naturally quick temper, like an indoeile horse, does not readi- y submit 10 its owners will. "It has been said that it is easier to act tue martyr than to conq quer onc's temper" There may be some exaggeration in this saying. It is true, however, that to the un- assisted will the contest of a fiery temper is next to impossible. But impossible ' is an unbelicver's adjective. 1t has Il" proper place in Christians vocabulary. inas- much as to him no duty is impos- sible He who commands the du- ty says to him, "My grace is sulli cient to thee" IL is, therefore his great privilege to stand amidst his self asserting passions like lion tanner amidst his subdued ami. mals in 0beyauce and triumphant. ly eXclaiming, ''I can do all things through Christ strengthening me,' Thus divinely aided, ;he believer, though naturally as turi. ous as Jehu, may clothe himself as in q beautiful garment, with the meekness of the lowly Lord.-- Selected.

Not All Gone.

The northern hatred Ofthe south engendered by the late civil war, is said to have passed away. and peace and fraterna feeling now exist. This is a mistake. Sher. man may be cheered in Florida and Fitzlugh Lee in Massachu- sets; Sheridan may pass through the Shenandoah, valley in peace and Grady may be welcomed in Boston, but the old war feeling is not all gone. It still fingers, though much we regret, it in the form of suspicion and distrust. This fact has been clearly demon. strated recently. \ few days ago a wag in Chicago, who wanted to outdo Mulhatten and Ochiltree :. started the report that coll ege student from the east sojourni in Texarkana, had to kill all entire family of six persons, while pro- tecting a northern drummer from imposition. The story, absurd and extravagant though it was, found credence and soon over 1000 names and subscriptions were en. rolled and gathered. to reward the student for his heroic (a act. Those who paid their money and sub. scrbed their names did so. no doubt, from honest and generous motives. They were ready to be. lleve anything they heard deroga tory to the south. The traterniza. ton which we have seen going on so long WAS, to them, merely lip worship: 1t had not fastened itself upon their hearts. That the story would turn out to be a pure tabri- cation they never expected. It was located in a section incogni,o and must be true. The explosion of the ridiculous invention will doubtless cause these people to receive similar stories with less faith and confidence, but, at th c same time, the fact that it was be- licved and that the supposed man. slayer was converted into a hero, shews that time alone can re-es . tablish perfect good feeling and confidence between the two sec tiOns.

CULLlBiLlTY.

The wild phantoms and shricking cries of Il worthless humbug can make money by imposing upon the credulity and ignorance of an honest public and the supply of this species of work seems more than an adequate demand. The enunciation of taets-facts that have stood crucial tests-facts proven by brain force and tangible evidence, should satistv all laudble enterprises; but the cx- ecr,ble practice of teaching false ideas and ooctrines for self-aggrandinemsn is truly reprehcnsible and should be scorned by all classes.
 When one house tells you that Iodine of Potash Is poison simply because their op ponents use it, and because they are pandcr- ing to your ignorance, IS they suppose, you should look upon all such as acrani frauds and their remedies aS unworthy public con ffdence, and if those who make such asscr tions do moi know better, the are a sct of un- cnviable ignurmnu>es.

A Dream Worth Knowing.

wonder how many mothers teach their children nowadays to read Pilgrims Progress, It was the first romance that l read, and cannot remember when l was not familiar with poor Christian and sweet Christiana; with Giant Des- pair, whose cave was strewn with pilgrims bones; with the lions in the way, the chamber, looking to the east, that was called Peace: the Delectable mountains, and the Land of Beulah. l have a vivid recollection of the resting place where Christian lost his roll; and my own childish emotion at his mishap. l do not think l was more than five or six years old when 1 entered into this dream world of John Bunyan's. To me at that tune, the persons of the story and their experiences were perfectly real and almost absorb. ing. In these days Pilgrims Prog ress is an old.fashioned book al. lowed to lie on the library shelf. It would be well to introduce it to the children of the present genera ton.
 Coleridgc says; This wonder ful work is one of the very few books which may be read over re- peatedly at different times, and each time with a new and different pleasure. read 1t once as a the- ologian; once with devotional feel. ing; and once as a poet. l know of no book, the Bible excepted which could so safely recom- mended as teaching and enforcing the whole saving truth according to the mind as il was in Christ Je. sus, as the Pilgrims Progress. l hold John Bunyan to be a man of incomparably genius than any of them (the divines) and to have giv. ell a far truer and more edifying picture of Christianity
 Maaaulay says, "The character istio peculiarity of the Pilgrims Progress is that it is the only work of the kind that possesses a strong human interest.
